Released as Capitol W-824 in January 1957 with the original 12 songs. Stereo version (with only 10 songs) mixed and released as SW-824 in April 1959. This 180+ LP is the first album since 1968 to restore "Love Is The Thing" to its original 1957 length and running order.

Mastering note: The 3-track original tapes of "Maybe It's Because I Love You Too Much" and "Love Letters" were lost after being left off of the stereo LP of Love Is The Thing. These two songs were never mixed to stereo and are presented here in their original pristine monaural form. S.H.

Bonus tracks recorded March 1963 for Capitol SW-1859 "Where Did Everyone Go?", also with Gordon Jenkins.
